"You would. You're both violent lunatics."
Polly could see that the woman was definitely with child, along enough to show but not enough to slow her down. She stepped between the fallen and the woman, and made sure she kept her hands where the woman could see them. She didn't want to be mistaken for a threat and have something bad happen.
"I know you want to hit him with a few other things, but we really need to get you packed and ready for your trip. I'll let these two explain the circumstances, and then if you want you can hit him with a few more things."

Katya looked over at polly, "I'm going to punish you later." and grinned at her blush.
she turned to the woman.
"Here's the low down. your former boyfriend tried to kill my lover over there, I killed him first. I told them that we would take you away from here so that there wouldn't be further tension or a 'useless' mouth to feed. also I figured Jake should take responsibility for knocking you up."

"You're terrible at breaking news."
Polly put a hand on the woman's shoulder and gave her a comforting smile. She was sure this news probably upset her, but they needed her thinking clearly for the next few days, well, as much as she could considering the circumstances.
"Listen, we don't have to leave until first light. Why don't we help you pack, and we will all get a good night's rest? That way we can start out early tomorrow. When we get back to my settlement in a few weeks, we can get you into a new home. You and the baby. It will be alright, I promise."
She felt almost like she was consoling her, and in a way she was. They were forcing her to leave the only home she had ever known, and now they were going to be taking her and her unborn child on a journey. This was going to be rough, but they would make it together.
"Jake, I am going to see about getting us more provisions for the rest of the trip. Please, you and Katya play nice. I'll be back soon."
She gave the woman a smile before she left, not looking at Katya. She was sure the woman didn't want to help her pack, but it would keep them out of trouble and that was what they all needed right now. Besides, she could find out more about the girl from her later. For now she needed to go back to the bar and find who sold dried meats and berries.

katya looked back at polly, watched her ass for a few seconds, then looked down at jake.
"Get up whimp."
"shut up katya." he groaned.
a swift kick to the side and katya grinned before taking the woman's arm and gently pulling her back inside the workshop.
she then kept kicking jake until he got back up. "im going with polly, don't cause a mess."
she then went after polly, grinning at jakes cursing.

Polly looked back, and saw that Katya was going to following her. She sighed, and hoped Jake wouldn't get into any trouble while he was with the woman. Maybe they'd at least stop throwing things at each other. It would make things a lot easier if they weren't at each other's throats, or rather she at his.
"Sure you don't want to babysit those two? I can handle getting the supplies."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassandra glared daggers at Jake as he limped into the small building, and looked about for a place to sit. If it wasn't for the other two, and the fact that she had very little time to pack before they were leaving tomorrow, she'd have found something heavy to hit him with. But for now she was focused on grabbing her bug out bag, and putting whatever else she could fit into while she had the chance. The tools belonged to the settlement, and they would never let her leave with them. The modified air rifle she did pack, along with the ball bearings she used for ammunition. It was quiet, and got a headshot every time she used it.
"Pass me the bag over there. I can put some more clothes in there, and strap it onto my back. Should make you carry it all, bastard..."
She sat down for a moment, resting one hand on her stomach, and the other on her forehead. She was feeling a little over exerted, and needed a moment for the room to stop spinning.
"Why'd you have to come back? I was doing fine, and now I'm banished. And who is that crazy girl and her friend? Where do you find these people?"

"Those two are fine, Jake can take care of himself. besides, I don't want anything to happen to you." Katya told Polly as they continued back into the bar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That crazy girl was the woman I told you about, the one I came north to find. her friend is her lover, it looks like love."

"You and I have very different definitions of fine, you know that?"
Polly put her arm around Katya's waist, leaning on her as they walked. She loved resting her head on the woman's arm, it was strong yet smooth and soft. She could have walked around all night like that, but she knew they had an early morning and would have to be heading to be soon. Which reminded her, they needed to find a place to bunk down for the night. She didn't fancy sleeping outside tonight if they could avoid it.
"Lodgings. Think we'll be able to find any?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cassandra finished putting what clothing she would need, as well as the few personal items she owned in the bags, and then tossed another, smaller sack to the man. She couldn't even look at him as she began arranging everything for her trip in the morning, trying to keep the tears from coming to her eyes. Everything made her emotional, everything made her want to cry. She didn't want him to see her like this, because then he'll try and comfort her, and they'll end up in bed again, and then...
"Fill it with whatever tools you can find. We can trade them for whatever supplies we need. I don't think I'll be coming back here ever again."

"I believe that's the reason I brought a few rolls of toilet paper." Katya smirked, enjoying Polly on her arm.
they walked into the bar, everyone looked up and froze at the sight of them.
Katya ignored them and went up to the bar. "where can we get supplies, also do you have any rooms for rent?"
"supplies you can get from the general store down the road. I don't have any rooms for rent, the ones upstairs are for long time renters."
"where can we find a room for the night?"
"the hut down the road with the red door is the place you want, its vacant now."
"it the place of the dead idiot?"
"yep."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake started filling the sack with tools.
"you could start over at the girls settlement or mine. you don't have to trade the tools."
he filled the sack, put it down and came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her. the fact that she didn't immediately hurt him was a sign of how much she was emotionally struggling.
"I'm sorry I put you into this situation, I should have checked the condom first. I never expected to see you again."

"To the store first, then onto the hotel Dead Idiot."
Polly put her hand back in the woman's, and smiled as they left. She could see that they had already moved the body of the dead man, more than likely stripped and tossed wherever they buried their dead. She had never been here before so she didn't know where they buried there. For the time being they needed their supplies and a good place to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ten minutes ago I would have stabbed you for touching me. Don't think that had changed any. You don't know what that has been like, what living here has been like since you left."
Cassandra finally stopped being brave, and cuddled back into the man's arms, tears flowing down her cheeks as she thought about what she was going to leave behind, and what she was going to do about the future, both hers and her childs.
"I am going to go to the girls settlement. It sounds like paradise."

Katya and Polly got all the supplies they needed and then headed for hotel dead idiot.
it was surprisingly clean. they wasted no time in finding 2 double beds for the group.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Its a good place. good strong walls, very good defences and militia, a school, they grow their own crops, and kids can be actual kids there."
his hands lowered to hold her belly, which held his, HIS child.
"I still cant believe it. I never intended for us to become physical when I comforted you, I thought I would never see you again. and know I'm back here and your with my child."
he gently lifted her up, sitting on the chair before sitting her on his lap, embracing her.
"I cannot change what you went through but I swear I will never stop trying to make it up to you."

"Come on, let's go see if your friend is still alive. With any luck she made him pregnant and set him on fire."
Polly was glad their lodgings were suitable for the group. She was afraid it would turn out to be a cesspit, or had already been picked over by the settlements thieves. That would probably be the case after they left in the morning, but for now it had been left alone. The trip here had been so perilous she was glad for a reprieve.
"Is it always like this? Traveling the areas between settlements and towns?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We have a few more months, so I hope this settlement is close. I want to be there before I give birth."
She laid back against him, closing her eyes and just enjoying being held. After he had found out she was pregnant, her boyfriend wouldn't touch her. It was like he had already known the baby wasn't his, and had all but disowned her. It wasn't romantic being in Jake's arms, it was simply nice.
"So what is the story with those two? Do I even want to know why the girl is wearing a collar around her neck?"

Katya chuckled, "Usually there's not as much being threatened for getting someone's girlfriend pregnant."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake smirked against the back of her neck, "they are in a dominant submissive relationship, Katya is the master where Polly is the 'slave'. its all consensual, Polly actually enjoys 'belonging' to Katya."
he smiled gently, kissing the back of Cassandra's neck. "I'm actually really happy for both of them, but for Katya more. she has had a really bad life, and polly helps her deal with her trauma."

"Well, there is that at least. Hopefully when we get back there will be some more repurposed homes. We can pull some strings and get her into one before she gives birth. How...ho long do you think she has before we can expect the baby to come?"
Polly started going through the items in the home, checking to see if there was anything they needed or could use on the trip. There was a possibility of finding some good trading items as well, she just needed to look thoroughly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You don't know anyone normal do you? I thought maybe she had bought the girl. Some settlements do that you know."
Cassandra sighed, trying to stay mad at the man, but finding herself smiling. It could have been the pregnancy hormones, or maybe it was because she was happy to be in the arms of someone that wasn't wanting to harm her. The whole thing made her want to vomit. Actually, everything made her want to vomit, and right now she suddenly needed to.
"The bucket...pass me the bucket quick!"

Katya helped polly look through the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake got the Bucket, placed it in Cassandra's lap, and held her hair clear as she vomited into it.'
When she had finally stopped, he unstopped his canteen and gave it to Cassandra.
while she rinsed out her mouth he started massaging her shoulders, and when she was done, he took the canteen, put it on the table, and continued massaging her.
he kissed the back of her neck, and smirked.
"no, I guess I don't know anyone normal, though I think that's a good thing. normal people don't interest me as much."
he lifted her up and sat her on his lap facing him, looking deep into her eyes, and grinned, "You're definitely not normal."

"Hey, look what I found."
Polly held up two boxes of ammunition, one for a rifle, the other for their handguns. By the sounds of it both boxes were nearly full, and certainly a wonderful find. She passed them off to Katya and continued digging through the treasure trove they found to see what other goodies there were.
"Try and find the rifle these go to. It has to be around here somewhere."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Careful, I might throw up on your in spite."
Cassandra laid her head on his chest, her stomach getting in the way, keeping her from laying her entire body against him. She wanted to punch him, but for right now she wanted, no, needed the comfort. It just felt good to be in his arms.
"I thought your friend had purchased the girl, and was afraid you had the same plans for me. Babies, especially healthy ones, go for a lot of scrap these days. And that girl, she's pretty. I bet she would have went for a lot on the market."
